Utilization of oil palm tree residues to produce bio-oil and bio-char via pyrolysis

Characterization of Bio-Oil from Fast Pyrolysis of Palm Frond and Empty Fruit Bunch

“…This result shows that palm frond is dominated by cellulose which is in accordance previous studies by Abnisa et al and Kabir et al [3,10]. On the other hand, EFB is dominated by lignin.…”

“…Indonesia is the largest palm oil producing country in the world has a palm oil plant of more than 10.5 million hectares [2] which can produce 4.4 tons•ha •y -1 of palm frond [3]. Currently, empty bunches and palm frond is partly utilized for composting, and animal feed and the rest was left on the ground.…”

Bio-Char and Bio-Oil Mixture Derived From the Pyrolysis of Mesocarp Fibre for Briquettes Production

“…The contents of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin for MF from Table 1 are 32.6, 29.2, and 27.9 wt.%. Similar results were reported in work of Abnisa et al (2013b), Kong et al (2014) and Mahmood et al (2015).…”

“…The proximate, elemental, lignocellulose constituents, LHV and HHV of raw biomass and sago are presented in The main lignocellulosic components of biomass are cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin. The percentage composition of these constituents plays a vital function in the pyrolysis products (Abnisa et al, 2013b). Therefore, the contents matter a lot in choosing biomass feedstocks for pyrolysis.…”

Optimization of fuel recovery through the stepwise co-pyrolysis of palm shell and scrap tire

“…Decomposition initially occurred for palm shells, and the scrap tires started to decompose after the temperature reached approximately 180°C. The decomposition of palm shells can be explained by lignocellulosic decomposition, which has been widely discussed in our previous studies [26,27]. Unlike palm shells, scrap tires need higher temperatures before they start to decompose, and the total weight loss of scrap tires was lower than that of palm shells.…”
